Hello guys, I have started programming like 6 or 7 years ago. Despite this, I began working as a programmer recently and I started asking myself how could I improve productivity.
Some times I just lost focus or I didn't know what to do. After some research I found Pomodoro technique.
This is a pretty basic but useful technique. It consists of focusing on your task for some period of time, the default one is 25 minutes. After this you take a 5 minutes break and repeat the process four times. At the fourth time, you take a long break instead of a short one, this usually is of 20 minutes.
After some time using this technique I adjusted the time intervals like this:
- 45 minutes to the focus interval
- 8 minutes to the short break interval
- 20 minutes to the long break interval
I really recommend you to test this technique if you are looking for some way to improve your productivity. I highly recommend this desktop app, it is minimalist and written in Vue.js (which is my favourite front end tool). Please let me know your opinion about this technique.
I would like to know too what do you do to improve your productivity. Maybe you know some other technique, have some kinfd of routine, etc. I hope this post could help you in some way. Thanks for your time!!! I wait for your answer

I really like the Pomodoro technique, but am not so much disciplined in using it very often. Otherwise I stopped wasting so much time (re)searching for stuff, that is why I have built bookmarks.dev to help me manage my dev bookmarks and code snippets... I wrote an article about that:
